Made of a crystalline semiconductor material, connecting two electrical terminals, a diode can be thought of as of a check valve fitted into an electronic circuit. Its basic and most common function is to allow the flow of current in only one direction, which is referred to as the diode\\`s forward direction.

Applications

Various types of diodes are available which enable different kinds of applications like photo-detection, and in DVD and CD drives, laser pointers, etc. Schottky diodes are used in RF applications, rectifier applications and clamping diodes. Zener diode is widely used to provide a reference voltage. Solar cells and photometry use photodiode. They also act as capacitor and capacitor plates.
